B&H has a long and strong tradition of taking the manufacturer's or official distributor's intent under advisement, and yes, the price you pay for the resulting savings is often the US warranty (for "grey market" items). In a case like this, they may have found it to be the cheapest way to put together an intraoral kit for dentists (take the body from an unpopular kit, add an off-brand macro lens, ring light and case, leaving them with a kit lens to sell).

The only real way to know is to ask the seller. Some companies break up kits and sell the lenses separate from the body, and the lens may in that case come in a different package. Other times the lens could be refurbished and sold in a non-OEM package. Refurbished can mean a variety of different things, but typically they have been inspected by the camera company and meet all standards that a new lens would have to reach.

As the warranty information is not listed on that site anywhere I can find it, you should most certainly inquire about that and confirm.

I don't know for a fact, but based on the description and experiences with other electronics, I would say that lens was probably meant to be part of a combo package or kit, but for whatever reason BH decided to sell it separately.

It specifies a USA warrantly, so there shouldn't be any reason not to buy it, unless you really want the printing on the box.
